Pete Crow-Armstrong’s aggressiveness on the bases, paired with his elite speed, puts constant pressure on opposing defenses.
Any slight misplay and he’s taking the extra base every time. In 2025, he ranked in the 95th percentile in baserunning run value.
We caught up with @AustinOvern one last time prior to Thursday's game to reflect on his start to life at Double-A with the Baysox and discuss goals heading into the offseason!
Gunnar Henderson ~ Swing Analysis | @Orioles
Exit Velocity: 107 mph
Distance: 403 ft
Contact Point: 1.7 ft
Launch Angle: 31°
Key Highlights:
- Great posture controlling his loading.
- Excellent space for his hands to be in the zone.
- Exploding and reacting with the back hip, creating separation and whipping hands.
- Hands down - short and above the baseball.
- Balance = Connection = Power: Head + Hip + Knee alignment.
- Keeping the head behind the baseball and down at contact point enhances hand movement.
- Maintaining barrel through the zone as long as possible (on plane) generates backspin. @80scale_
Luis Arraez discussed his reaction to Mike Shildt asking him to hit cleanup and what that transition has been like after hitting leadoff for most of his career.
"If it's something to help the team win, I'll be there, batting 4th, batting 9th, batting 6th, I'll go there & do it."
“Feel the ground and let your lower half be in control of your swing”
Barry Bonds is a great example for this
Example for hitters who get too upper half dominant
Cam Cannarella (@ClemsonBaseball) had a loud day at the plate today. Collected 3 doubles including this one to deep right. Quick twitch athlete with a high motor. 8.12 home to second and he let up. Plays with fire and covers ground out in center. One of the top @PG_Draft prospects come this summer. ‘25 Elig.
I can’t wait to start on this journey with this group of players and staff. The unknown of the season is what makes it so fun to compete. Looking forward to opening day tomorrow.
